On our map. We haven't walked through the door yet — here's why it's on the list.
A third-wave café that opened in the summer of 2017 at the corner of Roy and Saint-Denis, writing that it means to serve the best coffee it can, consistently. The house shares its walls with a bicycle repair workshop and a cycling shop.
It is run by Jean Simon Bouchard, Laurent St-Cyr, Guillaume Drouin Garneau and Alex Godbout. The fit-out is by the architecture firm L'Abri, the coffee comes from Montréal roaster Kittel, and the kitchen, sandwiches and grilled cheese, is run by chef Myriam Belize.
Le Club Espresso Bar is on the Regulars map — noted, not yet visited. Our guides are written on foot, door by door, and nobody pays to be in them. Whether the house takes part in Regulars is still to be confirmed. No points, no coupons — standing is earned.
